Dearly.

Well, there I was thinking that the weekend away was my birthday present, as I floated around the exhibition on a light but thrilling breeze of sheer delight at actually being there, when Jay turned around and asked me which piece I liked...! Yes, I nearly fell over.In some ways it wasn't hard to choose. This piece is a wonderful example of Julie Arkell's work that I first discovered a number of year's back. Endearing is the word that comes to mind generally around her work and no more so than her little rabbit people. On the whole, the entire show was so beautiful. Jessie Chorley's work was gorgeous too and is next on my list of heart's desires. Also showing were Cleo Mussi who made delightful ceramic mosaic figures, and Jeanette Orrell whose work is lovely delicate wire-work. See here for info on the show.

So I am one happy girl at the moment. And Jay has earned himself some serious credit!

Oh my gosh she is sooooooooo lovely! The cutest little thing. I remember now seeing some of Julie's work in Liberty a few years ago, she had these gorgeous fabric wrist watches and brooches that I loved. Glad you had such a fab trip.

oh dearly dearly - she's so gorgeous! sounds like you had a fun time in london - now i feel ashamed for sitting on my fat one while there for 12 days over christmas! yes, i was snuffly though - all better now thanks - just the shock of being back to work to deal with now! s x
